I just received my copy of LowHero.DLL's new full-length titled FM Era and it is stunning! Jonathan Chalker manages to serve up a tasty dish of intelligent electropop with emotional hues that run the gamut from classic wave acts like Men Without Hats, LPD and Book of Love to modern electroclash heroes like Fischerspooner and Ladytron. Included on the disc is a special Testube remix of his popular track "Forget Me Now".

The album is available at the very reasonable price of only $5.99 from the official LowHero.DLL website.

I just finished up a Testube remix of the track "Does It Really Matter" from the new Unter Null side-project called "Stray". Erica has put together an interesting new style that reminds me of a contemporary downtempo Book of Love. Things got a little crazy with the remix and it is stylistically all over the place - typical Testube, I suppose. To hear the original version and preview other tracks from the upcoming debut release, check out the official Stray page on myspace.  keep reading »

Testube has just finished remixing a short, experimental track titled "Distress" from the Israeli industrial artist Ptyl, well known for his unique aggressive sound and collaborations with Bruno Kramm of the band Das Ich. This new Testube remix is slated for release on an upcoming Ptyl remix disc. When was the last time you heard some kick-ass industrial from Tel Aviv? Check out some tracks at the official Ptyl Myspace page.

I finished my Testube remix for LowHero.DLL's dark pop smasher "Forget Me Now" last night and you can now download it for free at the official LowHero.DLL website. I was a bit intimidated at first by how catchy the original version was, but I opted for a mellow and quirky approach and I think it worked quite well. Check it out and let me know what you think!
